Dear Diary,
Today is International Women’s Day. I would like to dedicate this entry to my younger self.
When I was little I was always told positive, reaffirming things like that I could be anything I wanted to be growing up. My family blessed my childhood with tons of fun activities like ballet class, hip hop training, rhythmic and regular gymnastics, playing the piano, singing lessons and musical theater plays in my small town.
As I matured I realized that some of the girls in school were mean to me for apparently no reason. I was a little bit chubbier than the rest of my class of 24 kids but I did not know why I felt excluded or looked at strangely.
I thought high school would be different going from a private school to a public high school. Being in the advanced theater classes I found my strengths on the stage. I learned that being an actress allowed me the outlet for my previously stifled feelings of rejection and anger and hurt a way out of my heart.
So I’d like to tell my little self, the younger me, good job. Since high school I have blossomed into being a talented massage therapist whose made a decent living off of uniquely wanting to help heal other’s pain.
Now that I am transitioning once again from one career to another I want to remind my current self that no matter what obstacles and rejection comes my way in the entertainment/modeling industries that I will always know my worth and will never sell my self short for the promise of money or recognition.
I would also advise my younger self to not trust every one. Recently I became friends with someone who wanted to sell me a pipe-dream. This person used flattery and compliments but also stole from me when I was not looking.
I offered to help this person’s family and their wardrobe with the generous gift of jewelry and clothes I did not need anymore. In return I found some pieces of things from my personal property I had not offered to them when I was helping clean their house.
I am not stuck between confronting this person and their friends or simply ending all contact with them and their organization they want me to work for.
I have never tolerated bitches who use and steal and I will not start now.
Beyond Basic,
Piper Nicole
